Why She Ran Away.

A well known citizen had his wife ar
rested on charge of running away from

with her.
Madam" said the Judge, ''the mere
act OF your running away from your

NOT A REFORM PARTY.

As TO the general characteristics of the
TOLEDO platform, it must be evident to
every sensible Republican that vigorous
Remuneration of rebel Democrats and of
the Presidents order in regard to the
flags, and OF the betrayal OF Executive
pledges OF civil service reform, will not
avail as against the temperate and aueiL-
considered declarations of public policy con-
tdined m The Democratic platform. The
t,unt of "rebel" and the appeal to old
passions and sectional jealousy and war
cries ip general win merely please that
class Of Republicans whose votes are
secure in any event, In the existing
situation, when there is an unprecedent-
ed Independence in political feeling and
action, the true policy is to determine
how to reach those whose votes are not
secured by regular party nomination.

way platform sneers at the failure OF the

quiescence in the original platform was
not unnatural, since, so far us it was en-
forced, it tended to retain Republican
employees. But the present control and

promise any regard aollateuer for reform.

TAE PRESIDENTS TOUR.

The Journey of the President, at the
time when many Republicans are trying
hard to arouse the bitterness of sectional feel
ing and to control politics by the passions Of
the aCdr, will present suggestive con-
trast He represents the new Union of
common interests and purposes and de-
sires, and among them the speediest
practicable dismissal of the controversies
of the old Union, He represents the de-
sire of the country for tranquil and honest
government, watched, as he says of him.
sell, with scrutiny to which no recent
President had been submitted, He
represents the epoch of happy transition
from the old to the new, and the genera.
feeling of goodwill which is the prevail
ing sentiment of the country. 1t is un-
fortunate that the contrast should be in
voked between the significance of such a
representative and that of the sectional
effort. Practically those who lead that
effort assert that the President is going
into the Southern States to propitiate the
rebels, that he betrayed his sympathy
with treason and rebellion by the order
to return the rebel flsgs, that he has
called rebels into his Cabinet, and that
he knows that he must owe his re-elec-
ton to the votes of rebels. This Is
aOretched business for intelligent Republicans.
Not one such man who resorts to such
desperate appeals believes that the Presi-
dent is rebel, or consorts with rebels,
or has any more sympathy with rebellion
than General SHERMAN or General SHKR-
IDAN, or Mr.. BLAINE or Governor For.
AKER. The partisan use sOhich is sought to
be made Of the flag order sho,0s the sore straits
to aOhich those aUhe resort to 1t are reduced.
At time when Virginia and Massa.
chusetts veterans were frateFnizing, when
at Gettysburg the boys in blue and the
boys in gray were claspipg honest hands
of congratulation as fellow-citizens for
ever, the President acquiesced in the
suggestion to return to Confederate
veterans the tokens, not of anything
gained in the war, but of some particular
fight which helped to achieve the great
result, and in which, whatever the event
OF that fight, the heroism of both sides
was unquestioned. This is not thing
for which the patriot soldiers in New
England or Pennsylvania would adjudge
any man unworthy Of the Presidency.
OF the two, which will seem to a thought
full American the surer guarantee OF
national peace and prosperity, the spirit
which the President will represent in his
tour, or that of those who make q ma
tional issue of the flag order ?-Harper's

DURING Gov Fosters administration,
he appointed two Democrats upon each
board of five Trustees of Benevolent In
stitutions, and Gov. Hoadly retained two
Republicans upon all s1ch boards. This
arrangement, which it was supposed
would henceforth be the settled policy
of both parties has been departed from
by Gov. Foraker, who has reduced the
Democratic representation upon most OF
these boarIs to one member. The char
itab.e institutions of the state have be-
come under Foraker mere machines for
the furtherance of partisan schemes and
personal ends; and not even a Repub-
!ican could remain on any one of the
Boards unless he was willing to become
the mere tool of the governor; the
mouthpiece of his wishes, and slavishly
subservient to his commands. Great is
Christian Charity, but still greater e
Foraker lin his own estimation).
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1887-09-15

IT is exceedingly doubtful whether
Foraker has found, or will find, in the
field of politics the soothing and salutary
distraction of mind which he seemed to
need when he bade adieu to the brain
jacking and body-exhausting duties of a
judicial career. Perhaps the farmers of
Ohio, in the generosity of their hearts
and out of gratitude for his effort to
seven up" their taxes by increasing the
valuation of their farms, will permit him
to retire at the close of the present year
and to seek needed refreshment in those
peaceful pastoral avocations in which,
four years ago, he used to boast himself
SO highly accomplished. AS a dairy
maid he might be success, if he could
resist the temptation to put his foot into
the milk.

AMONG the doubtful winds that were
heard in the land when Cleveland was
elected was one to the effect that Dem
ocratic administration would have dis
astrous effect on the national banking
interest. What are the facts ? Comptrol-
Ter Trenholm says:
"From the 4th of March, 1885," "to the
1st OF August, there have been organized
$50 new national banks, of which the very
great majority have been established in
those parts of the country in which the
national banking system had not been
popular under earlier administrations;
" hile within the last six months there
have been more new banks formed in
the large cities than for several years
previously, From these facts it may be
inferred that at least no harm has come
to the national banking system in conse-
quence of the change of party in power
at Washington. gton.4sx..-.--

THERE must be retaliation of real
estate at once, says ]. B, Foraker. We
can not wait for the legally appointed
time in 1890. The farmers don't pay
taxes enough. We must get after them
at once, and that not in the ordinary way.
When the appraisers are elected from
among the farmers themselves there is a
mutual desire and conspiracy to keep
down the valuation. We must have a
State commissioner appointed, who will
value all property irrespective Of local
Judgment as to its worth. Foraker feels
eure that the Legislature will give him
the power to appoint a State Board of
Equalization, and enact that all property
shall be revalued now, he can "even it
up on the farmers" For particulars see

The kind of civil service reform which
Halstead loves with all his soul is that prac-

of Public Affairs in Cincinnati, which un-

affairs of that city ought to be managed
in the interest of the Republican party,
and then removed every Democrat hold
ing a position under the Board, This
rule works only one way.
FORAKER had law passed by the last
Republican Legislature increasing his
own salary from $4,000 to 5000. He
doesn't favor q reduction of taxes, but
wants the value of farm lands and the
